Costs & Support

We provide you with the financial support needed to succeed while you support aspiring local youth at EQWIP HUBs.

Where will EQWIP HUBs take you?

As part of a progressive team of global youth and influential partners, EQWIP HUBs will give you the platform and support to tangibly apply your skills and education to one of the real challenges of our time. Your volunteer experience will not be easy, and the path will not always be clear, but you will contribute to a new way of approaching youth development in a rapidly changing world. The experience will inevitably transform you, expand your perspectives and networks, elevate your skills, and steer you in directions you never knew existed.

We cover your costs

We cover many of your costs and provide you with a modest monthly stipend (based on local living wages) for the duration of your program.

You make a contribution to youth innovation

Because we believe that everyone has a role to play in propelling #YouthForward, successful applicants are required to make a one-time contribution to the Youth Innovation Fund. Supported in-part by UN-Habitat, The Youth Innovation Fund provides seed capital for budding entrepreneurs and new creative ideas at each EQWIP HUB including special initiatives to advance opportunities for young women and address the environmental sustainability. The one-time contribution required for 1-year placements is $3600.00, and for 3-month placements is $2,750.00.

Accessibility

EQWIP HUBs is committed to diversity and inclusion. We encourage people of different backgrounds, strengths, work experiences, lifestyles and cultures to consider applying for an EQWIP HUBs program and contribute their unique skills and experiences towards the goal.

The power of crowdfunding

Raising your contribution is made simple with our online crowdfunding platform. Successful applicants receive a customizable crowdfunding page where descriptions, videos and images can be uploaded.

We will take care of online payments, and every contribution over $20 will receive a Canadian tax receipt.
